Love Asparagus? Try This 5-Ingredient Meatless Monday Recipe

May 12, 2014

Looking for a super easy meal to make for dinner tonight? Well, look no further! This 5-ingredient recipe will satisfy both your taste buds and stomach, thanks to some seriously filling chickpeas, brown rice, and asparagus.

Any time I steam veggies, I nuke them in the microwave in a Pyrex bowl with a lid. Sometimes I’ll add a splash of water as well as a little bit of salt and pepper, but usually I just pop the veggies in it and cook. It’s seriously the easiest way to steam veggie ever. FYI: I nuked the asparagus for this recipe for 5 minutes and it came out perfectly.

When the rice and asparagus are finished cooking, combine them with chickpeas, salt, and pepper.

I thought of you last night while I was making my dinner (Is that weird??). I had nothing to eat all ready to go, so I just mixed some leftover brown rice that I had with some butternut squash that I had roasted a few nights ago and mixed in 2 wedges of the Laughing Cow chipolte queso fresco cheese. It was so good!! As I was mixing it, I thought to myself, “This is a Carrots n Cake kind of meal”!
